Most Mac binaries posted to comp.binaries.mac are Binhex files
that have been split up into two or more parts to enable them to
survive the perils of net.travel. It is a royal pain to manually
combine these parts, deleting extraneous stuff etc. before
downloading them to the Mac. It would be nice to have a program
that would do this for you automatically. So I dug deep into my
personal archives and found two programs comb.c and bhcomb.c that
claimed to be able to do this.

Unfortunately, neither of these programs did everything right and
choked on one thing or another. Does anyone out there have a
program that would do this ? I mean a program that has been tested
and found to work and not something that someone saved but never
used.

Please e-mail. Thanks.
